Evidence linking Dasyurus hallucatus to foxes. Systematic review of evidence for an association between Dasyurus hallucatus and foxes. Positive studies are in support of the hypothesis that foxes contribute to the decline of Dasyurus hallucatus, negative studies are not in support. Predation studies include studies documenting hunting or scavenging; baiting studies are associations between poison baiting and threatened mammal abundance where information on predator abundance is not provided; population studies are associations between threatened mammal and predator abundance. See methods section in [current submission] for details on evidence categories.
